Paph. Snow Owl is a new white complex hybrid that I created. It is a cross between Paph. Mystic Snow (=Freckles x Via Victoria) and Paph. Stone Lovely (So it is a white complex that does not have Skip Bartlett in it's background). The Paph. Mystic Snow parent did not have the best shape, but what I liked about it, is that it hardly had any red pigments (just a few hardly noticeable red spots), so I was hoping the Stone Lovely parent would improve the size and shape, but that the Mystic Snow parent would add "white" flowers to the progeny with very minimal red spots, and hopefully some would have no spots at all.
These were the parents:
Paph. Mystic Snow 'Pure White':
Paph. Stone Lovely:
The first seedling bloomed last year, and indeed was white, but it did have a few small red spots towards the center:
Interestingly about 50% of the seedlings ended up having some red spots, while 50% did not have any red spots. Here are two of the latests seedlings that bloomed that did not have any red spots, so that were pure white:
and finally my favorite one:
Robert
